The latest LG Chocolate Touch firmware is V07. How to upgrade the phone?  You could take it the local Verizon store to have your phone updated takes 20-30 min costs nothing and if they break your phone they have to give you a new one plus if it needs reactivation or what ever they can do it.

Or you can download it yourself and get the flashing tool. Pros of this you don’t have to hear there is no update when there is you don’t have to wait 20 min for them to do it. note: If you choose to update your phone LG Chocolate Touch, do so at your own risk.

The Verizon LG Chocolate Touch comes with a large 3 inch touch screen display with  240 x 400 pixels resolution, a 3.2 megapixels resolution camera, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS and more. LG Cell Phone Reviews

Pros: Amazing music player & sound quality. Better than any MP3 player I have experienced. Dolby equalizer presets are great. Also contains a search field to find specific songs(great for when you have hundreds of songs and want to find a specific one fast). Has a "Join the Band" application where you can play a drum set or piano with a song or pause the song to play your own tunes(cute, but not very useful). FM radio works great, very loud and clear with plenty preset buttons. Reception was better than the radio in my car. Has Song ID that can tell you the name of the song, artist and album but I am almost sure that uses some data. LG-enV touch info

Easy to transfer music with the included usb cable or to add your own custom ringtones and wallpapers via micro sd card. I have XP and it installed everything I needed just by plugging the phone in. I accessed the phones 1GB internal memory through My Computer and put my music in there with no problem.

Thin, stylish design. Not too heavy and not light enough to feel cheap. Made of metal and plastic.

Spacious home screen with drag and drop shortcuts, a lot like a desktop on a computer. Can also use animated wallpapers. Real calendar, clock, notepad widgets.

Fairly customizable; You can put your own custom ringtones on your micro sd card and apply them to your contacts/call/text tones and do the same with your pictures or wallpapers. Choose from 3 different menu fonts but only two themes.

Has proximity sensor so that when you put the phone to your ear it turns off the display, when you pull it away it turns it back on.

When you turn the phone sideways in text, music or browser mode it automatically adjusts to landscape mode thanks to the accelerometer.

Speakerphone is VERY loud and clear and has an easy to access button on left side of the phone for that option as well as an Unlock button, music and camera button.

I love the touch slide up unlock feature. But if you prefer not to fool with the touch unlock just press the unlock button on the side of the phone twice.

Texting is fun with the full qwerty keyboard and usually pretty accurate unless you are going super fast and then it makes some mistakes. You can change the key size to large for fewer mistakes. Also has T9 and various settings for predicting text. I don’t think that any virtual keyboard is going to be as accurate as a hardware keyboard, but it does the job without the bulk of a keyboard. Has PEN mode that lets you draw out the letters using your finger instead of typing them in. It’s a cool feature but I think that is too time consuming and hard to do with a finger. It also has a drawing pad feature that you can draw a message/picture and send it as a picture message.

My girl friend has just bought a new LG Chocolate Touch and today she asks me how to turn off EV-DO (now they actually call it "3G") on his new touch phone. She heard it saves battery life. So I browsed and found a way to turn if off and share it to you folks if it is helpful!

LG Chocolate Touch Tips – Turn off EV-DO to Save battery Life Steps:

1. Dial ##PROGRAM8575 (##77647268575) and press Send
2. Press "0" six times or however many it allows
3. Choose #3 Network Select
4. Choose #1 Mode Preference
5. Then select 1x Only

Then clear out of the service menu.

To turn EV back on go through the same steps except choose Digital Only Hybrid not 1x Only. LG-Chocolate Touch info
